Must take your bin men hours to do their round if, rather than using the mechanical arm to tip the binโ€™s entire contents into the wagon in one go, they sort through the contents of each bin bag by hand.

You cheating, or not, wonโ€™t affect the divorce settlement. This has been the case since 1973.

May as well take the opportunity if you really think thatโ€™s her motivation. She could be shagging the local rugby team and itโ€™d be the same end result financially for you.

Due to itโ€™s alcohol content, a liberal squirt of aftershave or perfume will magically dissolve permanent marker from a whiteboard (or other surfaces), with the bonus of leaving you with a lovely smelling whiteboard.

There are definitely worse text messages to accidentally send to a work colleague!

Due to itโ€™s alcohol content, a few squirts of aftershave or perfume will clean this off in seconds.

Thatโ€™s the dugout bar. Itโ€™s a hospitality area costing about ยฃ170 a match. The dress code still applies although itโ€™s slightly more relaxed as I think that BHA shirts are permitted in this area.

Fairly sure this is correct. Consecutive 0-2 defeats against City and Leicester had us in bottom 3.

I know as much as you, mate, but my guess is that the ban is a result of the 3rd-last and 2nd-last bullets on his list of events.

So it does. In fact it specifically says stewards asked him to leave the hospitality area and he refused. Iโ€™m guessing this refusal to leave is why heโ€™s been given the ban, rather than for not complying with the dress code in the first place.

Judging by the pic heโ€™s taken with him directly adjacent to the media seats, his ticket was for the Tunnel Club. Itโ€™s the one where the bar has a one-way mirror into the tunnel and is probably the most exclusive (expensive) of the hospitality areas in the Amex.

Whatโ€™s true is that the hospitality sections at the Amex have a strict dress code, and this includes no football shirts - even BHA ones.

Sounds like this dress code was ignored by Roger and enforced by the stewards.

I worked Saturdays at Tescos in the 90s and hardly anyone paid with cash back then! This moment of power must occur about once a shift.

I make it closer to 300m when you add the 20m+ compo for Potter and staff.

I applaud your high standards for comma use, but youโ€™re going to have to brush up on your use of first-person subject and object pronouns.

This is understandable. I mean, imagine how embarrassing itโ€™d be to admit to a new girlfriend that youโ€™d - shock horror - just been on holiday ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

How can one person make better tea than another anyway? Itโ€™s just boiling water into a pot/cup containing tea bags. I hardly requires Gordon Ramsey.

I was mates in halls of residence with a guy called Simon. There was another guy we vaguely knew who would always enthusiastically (and sincerely) great him with โ€˜Alright, Steve!โ€™ whenever he saw us.

No idea why. There were no takeaway orders involved.

Was it just me, or was the standard of marching shit? They looked about as cordinated as a massive stag do wandering off to the next pub.

Plymouth Argyle would be your closest club. Itโ€™s further south AND further west from Liverpool.

Convenience. Youโ€™d can cook a 6 egg white omelette or 120g of chicken for 30g of morning protein with low sat fat
level. Alternatively blend 30g of whey with skimmed milk.

Theyโ€™d rather be going down waterslides in the middle-class enclave known as Center Parcs.

Weโ€™ve gone from discussion about illicit viewing of your dadโ€™s porn stash to appreciation of โ€˜soft-eject actionโ€™. Marvellous.

Front loaders were marketed as superior, but the eject mechanism on a top loader always seemed wonderfully over-elaborate.

Iโ€™m imagining the multi-stage eject mechanism on an 80s top-loader video player.

Labour need to implement proportional representation to keep Farage out of power.
